I just bought a 2010 mini cooper s hardtop with manual transmission. It comes with the standard 195/55/15 run-flat tires. I want to replace them with a more performance-orientated brand of tires and was thinking about getting wider tires all around or just in the rear. Maybe like 205 or 215 or 225 (keeping the 55/15 the same). Would that mess up how the abs and dsc works?

just sayin...

I mean, really? We're borrowing from China to finance our millitary operations. So, who we gonna borrow from to "fix" our economy???

this has been posted before, but I read it for the first time today. Enjoy!

A little girl comes home from school and shows her mom $10.00, mom asks where she got it from, she answers"Johny in a tree gave it to me for doing a cartwheel." The mom says "Hes just trying to see ur underwear" The next day, she comes home with 20.00 and mom asks where she got it from. Girl answers "Johny." Mom gets mad and is about to say something when girl says "But I tricked him. I didnt wear any underwear today."

A lady goes to her priest one day and tells him. “Father, I have a problem. I have two female parrots, but they only know how to say one thing.”

“What do they say?” the priest inquired.

They say, “Hi, we’re hookers! Do you want to have some fun?”

“That’s obscene!” the priest exclaimed. Then he thought for a moment.

“You know,” he said, “I may have a solution to your problem. I have two male talking parrots, which I have taught to pray and read the Bible. Bring your two parrots over to my house, and we’ll put them in the cage with Francis and Peter. My parrots can teach your parrots to praise and worship, and your parrots are sure to stop saying … that phrase in no time.”

“Thank you,” the woman responded, “this may very well be the solution.” The next day, she brought her female parrots to the priest’s house. As he ushered her in, she saw that his two male parrots were inside

their cage holding rosary beads and praying. Impressed, she walked over and placed her parrots in with them.

After a few minutes, the female parrots cried out in unison: “Hi, we’re hookers! Do you want to have some fun?”

There was stunned silence.

Shocked, one male parrot looked over at the other male parrot and exclaimed, “Put the beads away, Frank. Our prayers have been answered!”

A dwarf was driving in his car little car on a lunch break when a big truck rammed him from behind. He jumped out and charged after the man shouting, "IM NOT HAPPY!"

The man from the truck smirked and retorted, "Which one are you then, grumpy?"

Chinese Torture

A young man is wandering and lost in a forest when he comes upon a small house. Knocking on the door, he is greeted by an ancient Chinese man with a long gray beard. "I'm lost," said the young man. "Can you put me up for the night?" "Certainly," the Chinese man said, "but on one condition. If you lay a finger on my daughter, I will inflict upon you the three worst Chinese tortures known to man." "OK," said the man, thinking that the daughter must be pretty old, and entered the house.

During dinner, the daughter came down the stairs. She was young, beautiful, and had a fantastic body. She was obviously attracted to the young man as she couldn't keep her eyes off him during the meal. Remembering the old man's warning, he ignored her and went up to bed alone. During the night, he could bear it no longer and snuck into her room for a night of passion. He was careful to keep everything quiet, so the old man wouldn't hear. Near dawn, he crept back to his room, exhausted but happy.

He woke to feel a pressure on his chest. Opening his eyes, he saw a large rock on his chest with a note on it that read, "Chinese Torture 1: Large rock on chest." "Well, that's pretty crappy," he thought."If that's the best the old man can do, then I don't have much to worry about." He picked the boulder up, walked over to the window, and threw the boulder out.

As he did so, he noticed another note on it that read, "Chinese Torture 2: Rock tied to left testicle." In a panic he glanced down and saw the rope that was already getting close to taut. Figuring that a few broken bones was better than castration, he jumped out of the window after the boulder.

As he plummeted towards the ground, he saw a large sign on the ground that read, "Chinese Torture 3: Right testicle tied to bed post."

How much is a life worth? According to Joe Horn - $1000.

Do you think he was right to shoot them in the back as they were leaving with the loot? Don't you love loaded questions? :P

I don't want to spend more than $1,000. So, I want to push that grand as far as it will go asfar as increasing the acceleration of my mr2 non-turbo. Any suggestions? Cheap ways to lower weight? Cheap ways to boost hp/torque? Thanks in advance!

What is there left for us to do? Why are you still here? Why not go to the philosophy section or something and free up this board for discussion of R&S among the faithful?

So, what would do it for you? Can you think of anything specific that if you saw it or experienced it, that would be sufficient evidence in order for you to believe in the existence of God?

I've heard Atheists argue that the proportion of Christian to Atheist inmates suggest that being a Christian does not guarantee a Christian lifestyle, etc. Does anyone have a source for this? If so, do you also have a source that would say how many of these "Christians" "converted" while in prison? It would seem that many would say they converted to Christianity in an effort to get out of jail sooner. Cheers.

She was sobbing uncontrollably and could not speak. She could just kind of murmor, but no one could understand her. She had no problem understanding us though. So, someone handed her a pen and paper and she started to tell us what was on her mind. Eventually, after a couple hours, she began to feel better and could talk again. Have you ever heard of this before? She had been under a lot of stress about finances because her husband was out of work for 18 months; but he just got a job about 3 weeks ago and is doing well. What could have caused this? How should it be treated?

The way I see it, we're just playing world police now. We overthrew Sadaam. Ok, fine. But, it seems we have caused way more deaths over there since then than Sadaam ever did. Was it really worth it - the BILLIONS UPON BILLIONS OF DOLLARS SPENT and ALL THE LIVES LOST???

Some say, well that will just leave a vacuum for terrorists to fill. I think that is bs. There is plenty of territory for terrorists and if they are not there now, then lets go where they are. Right?!

Others say, well then they will come fight us here. I also think that is bs. They can come here whenever they want because our border security sucks. Why not just bring the troops home, have them guard our borders, etc?

Do you agree with my position? If not, state your case. Thanks.

I have heard a lot of people calling a lot of seemingly different people "troll". What is the common denominator? What do you mean by "troll"?

A priest and a rabbi were driving down the road toward each other, praying very intensely - so intensely in fact that they failed to notice that they were swerving into the other lane. The next thing they knew, they collided and both their cars flipped over several times. Miraculously, neither passenger was injured.

The priest was the first one out of his twisted heap of metal that used to be his car and surveyed the damage. To his astonishment, he saw the rabbi walking over with a bottle of whiskey. They both began glorifying God in unison for allowing them to survive such an accident unscathed and attributed their survival to their prayers. The rabbi suggested that maybe God was using this miracle to bring them together and added that his bottle of whiskey survived the crash so perhaps they should have a drink together as well. The priest agreed and took a big swig. He handed to the rabbi for his turn, but the rabbi responded, "No thanks, I'll just wait for the cops to arrive!!"

I watched it last night on "You Tube" and read in one of the comments that someone had shut them down. Is this true? God, I hope so. I mean they were chastising these kids for being kids and just having fun and the kids get ostracized at school because they just run around and mindlessly regurgitate this bs to their classmates, etc. Kids need to play and have social interaction at that age...

Does that politician get compensated or is that candidate just out the money he or she put into the campagn from his or her personal finances?

I want to play blueray movies, video clips, music, and maybe do some gaming so that the sound comes through the speaker system of my home theater system.

I have a 780i motherboard and RAZER BARACUDA soundcard, both offer 7.1 channel of audio, but my home theater only has 5.1.

So, how can I get 5.1 sound from my computer through these speakers?

ps: I have it set up with an rca analog cable with 1/8th connection at the end, but it sounds analog. I want digital sound. How???
